Impaired Risk

Better underwriting outcomes start with better questions. Download our public underwriting guides, or unlock our full library with free registration.

Most underwriting problems happen because:

  • Key medical details were missed
  • The wrong carrier was selected
  • The case was submitted too early
  • Important underwriting questions were never asked

Our guides are intended to help agents gather better underwriting information before the application is submitted.

Build is one of the most carrier-specific underwriting factors in life insurance. Even small differences in height and weight can significantly impact underwriting outcomes.

Help identify:

  • Muscular builds
  • Weight-loss history
